    1Now indeed even the first{TR adds "tabernacle"} covenant had ordinances of divine service, and an earthly sanctuary.

    2For there was a tabernacle prepared. In the first part were the lampstand, the table, and the show bread; which is called the Holy Place.

    3After the second veil was the tabernacle which is called the Holy of Holies,

    4having a golden altar of incense, and the ark of the covenant overlaid on all sides with gold, in which was a golden pot holding the manna, Aaron's rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant;

    5and above it cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy seat, of which things we can't now speak in detail.

    6Now these things having been thus prepared, the priests go in continually into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the services,

    7but into the second the high priest alone, once in the year, not without blood, which he offers for himself, and for the errors of the people.

    9which is a symbol of the present age, where gifts and sacrifices are offered that are incapable, concerning the conscience, of making the worshipper perfect;

    10being only (with meats and drinks and various washings) fleshly ordinances, imposed until a time of reformation.

    11But Christ having come as a high priest of the coming good things, through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this creation,

    12nor yet through the blood of goats and calves, but through his own blood, entered in once for all into the Holy Place, having obtained eternal redemption.

    13For if the blood of goats and bulls, and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling those who have been defiled, sanctify to the cleanness of the flesh:

    14how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

    20saying, "This is the blood of the covenant which God has commanded you."

    21Moreover he sprinkled the tabernacle and all the vessels of the ministry in like manner with the blood.

    22According to the law, nearly everything is cleansed with blood, and apart from shedding of blood there is no remission.

    23It was necessary therefore that the copies of the things in the heavens should be cleansed with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.

    24For Christ hasn't entered into holy places made with hands, which are representations of the true, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us;

    25nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest enters into the holy place year by year with blood not his own,

    1Now in the things which we are saying, the main point is this. We have such a high priest, who sat down on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens,

    2a minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, not man.

    3For every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices. Therefore it is necessary that this high priest also have something to offer.

    4For if he were on earth, he would not be a priest at all, seeing there are priests who offer the gifts according to the law;

    5who serve a copy and shadow of the heavenly things, even as Moses was warned by God when he was about to make the tabernacle, for he said, "See, you shall make everything according to the pattern that was shown to you on the mountain."

    6But now he has obtained a more excellent ministry, by so much as he is also the mediator of a better covenant, which has been enacted on better promises.

    7For if that first covenant had been faultless, then no place would have been sought for a second.
